#I also made some design changes to Wren

[somerandomcryptid]

I did a headshot of my interpretation of c!Dream from @calamari-minecraft-corner's fic penpal

It's just a headshot but it's more a reference for the future than anything else

I know when Cala draws him he does not have this fluffy of hair but when his hair was described as wool like in the fic I couldn't help but picture him with really thick fluffy hair

Also I made the tag look like the Quackity poker chips :) that very well might change though

The colors are just the ones I use for my dream design

hopefully my hands will let me do a Wren and then a proper piece as well at some point but executive dysfunction is a bitch so.... Don't know when or if that will happen

I would put a link to the fic but I don't know how the hell to do that :l

[ana-cantskywalker]

Because this is my current favorite Sabezra song-- them and 11:11 by Ben Barnes?

Confession time; I wrote half of a fic for this and it was going down a VERY angsty and painful path, and then I remembered what I did to you with CLEAR and decided to be nice and write a fluffier and sweeter one. So, yeah.

Also ICONIC song choice Ben Barnes is 1000/10

-

The base on Atollon had changed some things in how the Ghost crew spent their time. Between their increasingly busy schedules and a designated area where all the other rebels ate, mealtimes spent with just the six of them were not as commonplace unless they were on a mission.

As such Ezra found himself with Wedge and Hobbie. In an attempt to branch out and make some new friends, and also get to know the people he was fighting with, he’d made a conscious effort to take some of his meals with some of the other guys his age. Their constant chatter filled his ears, they were easy to talk to. Debating over which starship models were superior was interesting enough, even if he didn’t really care quite as much about it as them. And yet, he couldn’t stop looking at her.

Who could blame him?

She was beautiful.

All the way across the mess hall Sabine sat, eating with a group of girls he didn’t know, likely trying to do the same thing he was in terms of branching out. Even from such a distance she managed to stop his heart. Her expression held that reserved smile she saved for people she wanted to like but didn’t trust. She was slightly uncomfortable, if the tension in her shoulders meant anything, and he knew it did. He wasn’t surprised, it was months before she was even comfortable around him. Not that he could blame her, he probably wouldn’t have liked the annoying flirt either. It was a miracle she liked him now.

He had left behind the overt flirting as he’d started to grow up, but his feelings remained, lingering under the surface, ready to jump out at any given moment if he didn’t keep himself in check. Sometimes he wished he could rid himself of them, as if it were really that simple, but he had resigned himself to the fact that they were here to stay.

But really, who wouldn’t have a crush on Sabine Wren? Not even considering the fact that she was perhaps the most beautiful girl in the galaxy, she was so much more. She was like a fire that raged across the plains, mesmerizing and dangerous. She was fierce both with her sharp wit in conversation, and her precision on the battlefield. Most who came in contact with her held a deep respect, or atleast a healthy fear of her, because sometimes she was downright terrifying. But he knew her better than most, he saw beneath the plates of armor she wore to protect her heart. She was determinedly loyal and unwaveringly kind to those she felt deserved it, he knew she would do anything to protect those she cared about. He felt blessed to be considered one of them.

He wouldn’t dream of being so bold as to presume she might ever feel the same way, but it didn’t matter, being her best friend was pretty great too.

He wasn’t quite sure when it had even happened, when he had gone from being an annoyance she tolerated to her best friend. Somewhere in between arguing over mission assignments and knowing each other so well that they could predict what the other was going to do before they did it, they had become each other's person. At the end of the day, that was enough for him.

While he would always hold a hope that the stars might align and she might reciprocate one day, it wasn’t the most important thing in the galaxy to him. If he could have one wish, it wouldn’t be for her to feel the same way, it would be for her to be happy. It would be that one day this rebellion would be over and she would be free to live her life in the way that she wanted to. He wanted only the best for her, whether or not that included him. But he would still always be there, in whatever capacity she needed him, for the rest of their lives.

Because that’s what you did for the people you loved.

Path to Isolation

Mirror what's this thing I see? Who is staring back at me? A stranger to my heart has filled my mind Mirror Help me Who am I? -"Path to Isolation" by Casey Williams

(Lol I regret nothing! XD Also enjoy some mini angst fic!)

Four never really told anyone but every now and then he'd have an reoccurring nightmare about the old castle that always had him waking up in cold sweat and unable to sleep. The nightmare itself has gotten creative the more he thought about it over time. It even got to the point where it starts to haunt him during the day, causing him to snap himself out of the trance and reminding himself that it's only a dream. SMG3, Meggy, and Mario had kept a close eye on him after asking him if he's alright to which he responds with "I'm fine."

SMG4 was walking around his castle today, staying clear from his room to avoid another PTSD episode of the P E R F E C T incident. He tried focusing his thoughts on other things. Positive moments that stood out to him. He smiled remembering the time he first got the showgrounds after an intense auction, how Meggy and Tari saved everyone from One Shot Wren and his messed up West, and helping 3 get his notebook back from Mario and Marty. He stopped for a moment and noticed that someone hung a photo of the updated version of himself at the new castle. With the same original pose with the new castle as its new background.

He instantly frowned the minute it changed drastically into his old design, the Mario reskin. Four backed away from the photo, holding onto his chest and feeling his entire body freezing in horror as the painting smiled at him that made him very uncomfortable. He can hear it softly echoing in his mind. The taunting laugh, angry "fans" telling him how he's officially fallen from grace, and people that he holds dear to that are in the afterlife glaring at him in silence. Four tried to cover his ears and closing his eyes, feeling his body sweat as he tries to hold back his tears, hearing the voices get louder. His breath quickens the more intense it got until it got silent. He opens his eyes slowly and saw the floor change under him. Checkered flooring.

His heart instantly dropped.

No.

N-not again!

He looked up, slowly lifting his hands away from his ears and saw that he was back on the 2nd floor of Peach's castle! Not only that, he saw the painting he was looking at not too long ago with the same old design smiling at him, giving a thumbs up taunting his very being. He approaches the photo, dark thoughts filling his mind like never ending cockroaches infesting his mind. He took off his hat and threw it somewhere on the floor, not caring where it landed.

SMG4 stopped as soon as he was close enough to the frame. His anger started to rise, putting his hands into fists his thoughts surrounding his mind and vision quickly clouding in black.

Mario and SMG3 were the first two that ran into the castle after hearing SMG4's chilling scream and something breaking. Meggy wasn't far behind as they tried to find Four inside the brand new castle. Three panicking, tried to see if his meme energy can sense where Four was. All three of SMG 4's friends turned their heads as they herd Four angrily shouting at something to the point his voice is cracking.

"Quickly, this way!" Meggy frantically said as she and the boys followed to the sound of Four's distressed voice. Three's mind was racing hard as he and the others head to the meme guardian in need. SMG3 stopped to see glass on the floor, eyes widening in fear of what could of happened. Mario and Meggy stopped their tracks as soon as they noticed 3 not following them. Both the fat red italian , and the former inkling girl walked towards Three, seeing the broken glass on the floor.

Silent gasps and eyes widen seeing the sharp, yet fragile glass pieces on the floor. All three turned to see a huge hole on the photo of SMG4's current self, more glass on the floor, and Four himself with no hat in site soullessly staring at the trio. His eyes that once had life was now dead, no ounce of spark nor joy as the trio stares back at him with fear and concern for the blue guardian.

Meggy covers her mouth in horror seeing Four in such a shape, Mario remains frozen, gulping hard watching his close friend staring at him like the time at his Mario day party with such a bone chilling aura. His mind wondering if he should take a step forward towards him or not to snap him out of it. Lastly SMG3, who has recently become his friend after years of hating each other and almost killing him, watching helplessly at the person that has helped him achieve his goals.....having the very meltdown he saw at his old home. He felt his cold, icy blue eyes staring into his firey soul.

🍰...idol life ship...🍰

@leoonoa

hi hi,

so sorry this ship took as long as it did! i went absolutely all in for the design aspect and the album cover and it took way longer than i thought to get everything together.

i hope you like it and thank you so much for being one of the consistently awesome moots that i have.

lots of love

wren xx

~your company~ rbw🍰

~group name~ lunaria

~members~ 11

~debut date~ 2015

~pre debut days~

Despite your enthusiasm and motivation to train and later debut, you were never the textbook trainee or idol in the eyes of your peers.

In some ways you were overlooked, there weren't any major reasons its more that they didn't feel any type of competition forming during the time you spent as trainees. Though this was initially quite disheartening for you it was also a blessing considering it gifted you with the opportunity of rising up and becoming a star trainee and they were none the wiser.

They were the definition of shocked when you were chosen to be the 7th official member of Lunaria. Eleven members sounds like a lot but considering the amount of trainees who you had to out perform it was a feather in your hat so to speak, proof of your time spent as a trainee.

Another thing to note is your "pure" "good-girl" archetype wasn't a role you had to assume once joining Lunaria, you had always been that type trainee, the one who was polite, optimistic and open to improvement.

All in all you were such a genuine example of idols still remaining human in everything that made them great, you have not changed since your pre-debut days and that adds to your charm.

~about you~

Though this is a epilogue to your days as a trainee I just have to say it again, your personality is extremely consistent throughout your career, some idols experience a change in personality as they grow as a person. For some reason you managed to change and grow in a multitude of ways while being the fun-loving idol who charmed their fans from day one.

At the heart of it you're the happy virus but in retrospect you are way more laidback one who spreads happiness by being a caring and fun-loving person without being particularly hyper. You're the one who just knows how to take care of your other members with abstract knowledge on self-care, whether it be some stellar recipes, knowing how to massage people in just the right way or just generally knowing ways to chill everyone out. Rather than being the mom of the group you're like the cool cousin.

This has nothing to do with your actual personality or your performances but you're literally the groups fashion icon with your cottagecore/vintage look. Though your company often makes your stage outfits a bit more flashy they still take enough care to allow you to be the vintage 'Modest Hollywood' type of idol.

Something that makes your character so intriguing to your fans is the duality you have, which you show in later years of your career. You are generally predictable and comfortable, people know what they will get from you in terms of personality and how well you perform. But you do have a more serious, competitive side that adds to your intrigue.

Ngl everyone simps over your competitive side.

Basically genderswap Minho from Stray Kids, make him a stylish vintage girly and you have you.

The deep relatability of your personality is what results in you being one of the more popular members especially when it comes to appealing to an international audience.

Your group actually possesses so much duality as a whole, each member has two distinct personalities, this doesn't even include the persona that each of you take on while performing. For you it's the level-headed mom-aunt which is completely debunked by your soft almost-crybaby-needs-to-be-babied side.

~your position/s~ dancer & sub-vocalist

~relationships~

~best friend~ yuta (nct)🍰

If there is anyone in the idol-verse who has the MOST love and care and respect and all around loving energy towards you it is Yuta. Though you seem like complete polar opposites there is a deep mutual connection that Yuta hardly feels when he is around other people.

There is something that's reminiscent of a princess and her knight but in a platonic sense. Yuta is aware of how quiet and reserved you tend to be and that's what kicks his whole protective friend schtick into overdrive. He still remains relatively laid-back and Yuta-ish but he stands his ground when it comes to your friendship and the unlimited support and respect he has for it.

Definitely the type of friend who doesn't care that you both have an idol image, he will playfully shove or mock you at awards shows while cheering the loudest when your group wins something. The only way I can really describe it is having a sibling relationship minus the sibling aspect, both in mind and actuality.

Matching jewellery is a must for him.

Yuta is a very outgoing idol and while he still maintains some very potent Yuta-ness he is actually a very supportive friend, he is totally down to talk about serious issues or things regarding your wellbeing. AKA he will go out of his way to be the ultimate friend, whether you just need him as a shoulder to cry on or whether you need him to spill all the tea, he will do it all.

That all being said, even if he seems like the most carefree, casual friend in existence he is your best friend for a reason And that reason is the way he is so selfless and protective he is skilled at many things which includes maintaining friendships while still making you feel like you are his one and only, and in some ways you are. You mean so much to him and are definitely one of his most cherished friends in the grand scheme of things.

~friends~khael (mirae), seok matthew (zb1), gyuvin (zb1), taeil (nct), minhyuk (monsta x), somi, jini, chuu, wendy (red velvet) and tzuyu (twice).

~boyfriend~ yoojung (onlyoneof)🍰

The whole thing felt like a healthy dose of fate. You were over the moon that Lunaria were finally being invited onto Idol Radio, though you weren't crazy huge on radio shows Idol Radio had a soft spot in your heart and you had always wanted to participate in the radio shenanigans with your group.

You had assumed it was just your group however, once it was revealed that only you and four other group members would be on the show due to conflicting schedules you couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed that it wasn't a 'family' thing so to speak.

Unbeknownst to you part of the reason why your other members couldn't participate was because of the nature of the radio segment. Instead of focusing on you and your group Idol Radio had secured some of the members of OnlyOneOf to star in their segment.

It was quite the contrast considering that your group themes were so distinct, diverse and polar opposites. OnlyOneOf was actually the perfect candidate for creating interesting conversations that were perfect for going on air.

Pointing it out again it was a very odd combination of members from the get go, besides the group concepts you were just very different, however, the consistent factor was that you and yoojung were both known as being elegant and soft spoken.

The entire episode had gone extremely well, much to everyone's surprise, it was the most comfortable you had felt in a very long time in the presence of other idols, apart from Yuta. It wasn't just you who had the time of their lives, if you could read the men across from you you'd know that Yoojung's heart had started to beat in a different way and by the end of the show you had won him over.

And the reason why you won him over? It seriously seems like the most basic thing but basic or not it mattered to him. He was trying to have his say in a conversation but the members kept speaking over him, they truly didn't mean it though it was just excitable chatter that Yoojung wanted to get in on. You noticed how he couldn't get his word in so you politely spoke, your voice breaking them out of their trance. "Excuse me, what were you saying Yoojung?"

There was something admirable about this entire feat, you managed to be polite and approach people in such a gentle manner yet you also had enough in you to command a room. This was like the most attractive thing to him, amongst other things.

From this point his members knew something was afoot with their fellow member when he started dressing in your favourite colours and patterns and tried to capture the most soft-boy energy in existence.

Yoojung also thought it was fate that the rest of the members bonded with your group members since it gave him more opportunities to third-wheel just to have an opportunity to see you.

Honestly this relationship felt so natural and it came at the perfect moment, when your dating ban had finished, that also means that when he got the confidence to ask you out he was the first to do so. In short he felt lucky that he could be your first boyfriend and he promised to never take that for granted. He truly is your prince who puts extra effort into ensuring that you get treated like a princess.

There is so much childish love and excitement in your relationship and you truly feel like you found your other half, you share the same mind and the same heart. You are both the shimmering lights of the k-pop industry.

~crushing on you~ yeosang (ateez)🍰

Yeosang honestly has the softest most kindest intentions with his crush on you, not to spam this ship with wholesome and cute content but despite Yeosang being a strong performer with such visual he is also so gentle and treats his crush on you with the utmost respect.

Yeosang has a notorious track record of being the kindest man in existence, something that's followed him since he was quite young so it was no surprise that he would feel a sense of comfort after discovering you and your group. You were always somebody who made him feel at home, though it would be a while before he actually met you he felt that you understood him on a deep level.

Much to his joy and happiness when he had crossed paths with you he was so pleased to see that the idol who had his heart wasn't putting on a show, she was genuinely kind and a breath of fresh air.

This just deepened his crush on you and despite being encouraged by Wooyoung he would never actually confess that he had so much love for you in his heart.

He just knew that while he was sure he could try his hardest to make you happy that he had to wait and see if you would find somebody and if he was lucky enough to call you his at some time or another that he would be more than happy and willing to pursue a relationship with you.

But don't mistake his silence for lack of care, he truly does have some pure and deep feelings for you. You are someone that he can really see himself being with for a very long time. His admiration is real and true.

~other idols crushing on you~ hyunjin (stray kids), jisung (nct), yeonjun (txt), allen (cravity), yonghoon (onewe), kangsung (ghost9), taesan (boynextdoor) and shotaro (riize)

~extra info~

You collaborated with the brand Port Tanger to come out with a limited time solo brand that sold cottagecore and vintage style clothing and jewellery

You're also occasionally asked to be a backup dancer for other artists especially for award shows or things like Gayo Daejeon

I didn't know where else to put this but you're also known as one of the really giving artists who is very socially aware and supports causes like Save the Children or animal support causes like FOUR PAWS International.

~scandal~ This isn't really a massive scandal in the grand scheme of things but you were accused of having a highly manufactured personality. People had trouble believing you could be an idol while maintaining such as shy, compassionate and almost innocent persona. Your group wasn't as cute or peppy as Oh My Girl or any other groups with a cute concept, so it aroused suspicion and many accused you of trying to hide something through your polite mannerisms.

[morganpdf]

U kno what. Go ham and answer all (or as many of the questions as you want/are relevant) for uhhhhhh Robin and/or Fig (idr if Fig is your OC or Justice’s OC so I’ll leave it up to you)

damb!!!!!!!!!! an excuse to talk too much about robin lets go!!!!!!! (fig is @saltylenpai's and he's not feeling 2 well so i dont wanna bombard him w messages rn dsfds but if i know something for them ill answer it)

also warning for ~mature themes~ or w/e bc this is about robin and she fucks. sorry (nothing graphic just the acknowledgement that she does)

also just for clarity's sake, when i say 'connect 4' thats just the name juice & i use for august/piper/robin/felix bc thats easier than naming them one by one dsfds. on w the show

✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name?

god ngl i can't really, remember, justice might have named her?? like. that's the most likely scenario :sob: he's named so many of my ocs when we were doing back-and-forths trying to figure out the vibes of guys. robin was fun tho bc she didnt have a name when i first posted her bc i really liked her design and wanted to post it despite not having. u know. a name for her yet. also just checked her og post and it has 69 notes. its what she would want

🌼 - How old are they? (Or approximate age range)

when i first made her, robin was 25! now its sort of just a nebulous mid-to-late 20s depending on when art of her takes place tbh! i'd say she's 24/5-ish around the start of that story (so, like, when she finally breaks it off 100% w zoey [her shitty ex that she started dating in highschool], piper moves in w her, potential one night stand w felix, etc etc). maybe a little younger but also not by much. by the time she's got shit more figured out (ie felix has moved in, she & piper have started dating, getting help for her various neuroses etc) would be like 28-29, probs in her 30s by the time they ALL move in together imo. i could be off w that tho but its fine dsbhfs their story is always changing and growing so who knows!

okay wait i just came back to this like 3 hours after starting to write these & sitting on it and. i think robin is roughly 23 when zoey breaks up w her and piper moves in. august is in her senior year of undergrad when she meets piper (again) and she's younger than robin. i think piper is the youngest?? okay wait. ok. robin is 23 when piper moves in, who is 21 at the time. august is 22 & felix is like 21 and a half. or something. at the very beginning. or maybe robin is 22 and piper is 20 and they dont encounter august for another year or so??? idk. ill figure this out eventually. where i draw her most is her late 20s when shes happy w everyone HSDVSFV thats what matters

🌺- Do they have any love interest(s)?

yeas :3 felix is their partner/fiancé (they dont get married for a long time even after getting engaged bc robin just, really likes calling them her fiancé. it's really special to her) and piper is her girlfriend!! it took a long time for robin to realize she was worth loving tbh but all of connect 4 are out here trying to remind her whenever they can (even august. begrudgingly.) (also just to clarify, august is piper's wife) (and felix's gym buddy/bestie/fuck buddy) (she and robin have some sort of fwb thing going on. enemies with benefits. they pretend to hate each other but dont be fooled. theyre besties) (august just isnt romantically involved w anyone But piper) (same w felix & robin)

also fig is dating wren! however i have no current art of them :sob: he's a sweetheart printmaking major who meets fig in school. fig is a fine arts type major who minors in, like, photography, & also tries to work w as many mediums as possible. wren is kind of infatuated w them but tries to hide it bc he's... a dork. he's a dork who does NOT know how to talk to people. and takes to doodling fig in their sketchbook & making prints abt the nebulous Feelings they give him. fig is Aware of it but is Very Autistic abt it all & cant place their own feelings for a while. it all comes to a head when they're. like. hanging out together in the studio and fig just drops a description of how theyve been feeling around wren and wren is like. um. ummmm. did they just fucking. confess to me. and then it's another week before wren is like heeyyyyyyyyyy. would you. like to go on a date. and fig is like. ok :) anyways theyre very in love.

🍕 - What is their favorite food?

is coffee a food. i think robin would live off of it if she could. felix is like, the main reason she starts actually Eating Food Normally bc they wont let her drink 5 iced coffees & call it a day. but to tell u the truth ive never really thought abt her fav food! it's probably something really simple, tho, like one of her dad's pasta recipes. comfort foods to the max.

💼 - What do they do for a living?

robin works as a barista at the coffee shop below her apartment (let me have this fantasy). ive said it once and i'll say it again: robin is the epitome of coffee shop au (derogatory). she doesnt Hate it bc so much free coffee & all her coworkers are some kind of queer but shes also like. not exactly a social butterfly & if anyone's ever a jackass to her she will Not take it (let me have this fantasy also). she's llike 5' even but if anyone yells at any of her coworkers. even ones she doesnt like. she's up to bat so fast. u wanna speak to the manager? ok speak to me. ill kill you

🎹 - Do they have any hobbies?

YEAS robin likes to sew & make clothes/costumes in her spare time. zoey used to make fun of her abt it so she kind of fell off of it for a while, but when piper moved in w her & showed interest in it, robin picked it back up! didn't get fully back into it for a while, but she's out here making clothes for connect 4 as a labor of love (esp felix bc. theyre fucking huge & have trouble finding things in their size sometimes. especially in the arms). also i specify costumes bc she absolutely drags all of them 2 conventions w her in themed cosplays that, like, none of them but robin understand dvgfsdgv. she also sometimes tag-teams w ellis (august's old college roomie) bc xe's actually really into cosplay & nerd shit but can't sew. however xe CAN work w robin to add cool practical effects to costumes and as much as they bully each other . ngl their cosplays always fuck. OH ALSO robin has a tattoo gun . she gives herself tattoos sometimes. when she's feeling it. sometimes the others get in on it dsfds

🎯 -What do they do best?

bitch and moan and be a hater. fuck nasty lesbian style. etc etc

jokes aside tbh . i dont want to boil her down to "barista" but she IS, like, good at what she does. the shit she makes slaps. one of those bitches who has as many fancy coffee gadgets around the apartment as she can afford (and some she cant). no one's complaining tho bc. despite all the bitching she does. she really likes doing things 4 the people she loves and has everyones morning favs down pat

🥊 -What do they love to do? What do they hate to do?

once more. bitch and moan and be a hater & fuck nasty lesbian style. dsvbhgfvbsdh. this is only half a joke tbh robin can be hypersexual & genuinely really enjoys sex so like. yeah. she loves to bone down w any mix of connect 4 and it's a blessing that there's 3 other people bc sometimes i dont think any one of them could keep up. lmao. other than that she enjoys, like, reading indie comics & also manga tbh. loves to cuddle up w felix in bed while they read bc they have sleeping trouble & she knows she helps sometimes. loves to plan dates & hangouts even if she complains the whole time. loves spending any & all time she can w her loved ones now that she lets herself Connect on an emotional level as for shit she hates 2 do. working closers @ opening back to back (happens often). not a fan of cooking. hates going to the gym but will do it to watch felix & august work out. thinks most chores are a sisyphean task that she, personally, has been burdened with (enjoys doing laundry tho). hates talking abt her feelings but gets better abt it

❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?

the first christmas she spent w felix was. ngl. life changing for her. even if shit broke bad shortly after :sob: (they get it worked out but it gets messy for a hot second). genuinely one of the first times she feels Loved for who she is & like she could deserve it someday. which scares the hell out of her in the moment but. despite everything she still thinks abt it fondly also. when she proposes to felix is up there. not necessarily the proposal (that was slapdash & embarrassing and she kind of wants 2 crawl into the dirt) (after weeks of planning & getting cold feet Once Already, she just drops it on felix while they're driving & they nearly crash bc thats nothing they would have ever expected robin 2 say. and robin ends up so embarrassed she nearly has a panic attack trying to backtrack bc what was she doing what was she saying this was the worst obviously youre going to say no im so sorry please ignore everything ive said in the past 5 minutes--) (felix has to pull over on the side of the road to help robin Chill)but the aftermath, when she's calmed down enough that felix is able to be like, hey, hey, baby. look at me. you can take it back if you really want but the answer would be yes either way ok? and they have a Moment and end up making out w robin sat up on the guard rail while the sun sets around them. very romantic save for all the honking they get

✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories?

most anything involving her ex and highschool. tbh. that's all kind of a blur for her but it's not like she Wants to remember any of it. zoey has always preyed on her insecurities & kind of molded her into the bitter cunt she pictures herself as so. it's kind of all bad. she wasn't a good person when she was with zoey & she knows it & feels guilty abt it. other contenders include: when she lied to her dads abt going to college in LA (she went for a semester and dropped out) specifically to be w zoey, knowing they wouldnt have Let Her Go had they known zoey was involved (they did not like zoey). any memory involving holidays spent alone (or worse: w zoey) when she would ignore calls from her dads. another contender for worst is the memory of seeing felix for the first time after their initial break up because ough ouch oof owie that sucked shit.

🧊 - Is their current design the first one?

nope! she was originally a splatoon octoling :^] still very similar vibes tho!

🍀 - What originally inspired the OC?

juice & i wanted to make splat ocs that were salmon runners! her og lore is that she worked salmon run shifts over night & coffee shop shifts during the day. no time to sleep she needs to make money. now she just has the coffee shop job but she's still just as cranky and mean. FELIX HOWEVER has changed so much. i know this isn't abt felix but its still wild thinking abt just how much they've mellowed out compared to like, og felix.

🌂 - What genre do they belong in?

slice of life :^] same as august and piper. there's a post going around abt, like, coming of age stories for adults where. u know. people over 25 or whatever are finally coming into their own & if that was a Genre id absolutely smack robin into it. she grows A Lot from her 20s into her 30s. continues to grow from there, too. haven't thought too much abt, like, Older Connect 4 bc i have some Neuroses around that, but shhh

💚 - What is your OC’s gender identity and sexuality?

robin is cis </3 but a lesbian! <3 fsdfds (august is also cis and a lesbian. piper and felix are the partners w the genders) (piper is a trans lesbian & felix is. genderfluid? queer? has something going on. & bisexual. like. fuck men as a man, fucks women as a woman, etc) (u only technically asked abt robin but shh)

fig is (wavy hand motion) and demi :^] juice is still playing around w their gender, when i asked it was like. some variation of nonbinary or agender leaning on towards transfem. gender simply does not matter to them

🙌 - How many sibling does your OC have?

both robin and fig are only children!

robin feels Guilty abt that often bc she feels like she's kind of a fuck up and that her dads deserved a better daughter (they love her dearly and would never think she's a failure or a burden) (but robin has Neuroses)

fig is. tbh. very much a spoiled only child. theyre very sweet and kind tbh but they were (and are) Very Protected From Everything & their parents can and will do anything for them at any given moment. money is no object. they use this power for good as often as they can tho

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?

ope didnt realize this was the next question dsvfgsd so. uh. oopies. i will add on that like. robins dads went the surrogacy route w her. her godmom was the gestational carrier & is pretty good friends w her dads so she shows up to family functions a lot dsfsd. ive yet to design her tho (very double income no kids lesbian aunt vibes from her) (i need to flesh her out more actually) (juice and i half designed robins dads once but didnt settle on anything. need to do that again)

🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?

i like that robin grows and heals w time, and even though she fucks up she still ends up happy w her friends and family. she has a support system of people who love her. despite going through deep shit & dealing w a lot of mental health issues, she's happy and safe and loved & has learned how to cope w things & is on her way to forgiving herself. she doesnt want to die anymore. she finally looks forward to the future. im normal. dont look too much into this. anyways

as for fig . my fav thing abt them is how in love w the world they are. they never get tired of how beautiful everything is, from sunsets to grass growing in cracks in the sidewalk to the patterns that gnats follow. its part of the reason they get into art tbh. they want to translate that beauty into their work. why they dabble in every medium they can. i love fig so much

✏️ - How often do you draw/write about the OC?

robin is easily my most drawn oc (followed shortly by jo, but mostly bc jo was like. my only oc for a while & they were directly connected to a special interest at the time) BUT EVEN THEN. I DONT DRAW HER ANYWHERE NEAR ENOUGH 😭😭😭 rip to all my ocs who arent my comfort characters that no one fucking Knows about because i never draw them. BIGGER rip to the OCs who dont even have toyhouse pages bc i only drew them once years ago and have since redesigned in my mind but havent drawn yet. looking @ ellis & atlas & wren & graham especially. sorry to my boys (and ellis) i just never draw guys ever :sob: (posts that made me realize its literally like. all my guy ocs - and ellis - who i havent uploaded yet 😭😭😭)

💎 - Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC?

lmao no absolutely not robin is going to live forever. all my ocs are immortal (<- guy who has Intense Neuroses & Anxieties revolving around death and is not in a place where he can unpack that shit yet)

💀 - Does your OC have any phobias?

i dont think robin has any ACTUAL phobias (like., defined ones. you know what i mean??) (like arachnophobia or agorophobia or w/e), but for the longest time she was terrified of showing anyone that she cares bc she didn't want to get used again. that's why the initial break-up? w felix happens (she admits she loves them during sex & then immediately panics and kicks felix out & runs away to her dads house for a month w/o telling anyone & purges all her socials. she's normal and makes totally rational decisions). she also has a pretty big Fear that zoey is going to dredge up old shit and start shit and make the rest of connect 4 leave her (which. like. zoey DOES try after a couple of years) (bc shes a petty motherfucker who is upset that robin's doing well) (it obviously. doesn't work) (piper writes a. quite frankly. scathing ass message to zoey) (august swears if she were a few years younger & stupider she would have gone out and started a Fight) (felix just holds her so tight) (anyways)

🍩 -Who is your OC’s arch-nemesis or rival?

fig is absolutely incapable of having an arch-nemesis or rival. like. thats not something that could exist 4 them. they love everyone too much and just assume good intentions. its a problem sometimes.

also robin has several rivals tbqh. the peppy gay barista at work who is too much of a ray of sunshine. she is going to get him to crack. ellis is a rival bc xe hates everyone august has ever slept with (barring piper) (i dont think xe realizes she slept w felix though bc . those two had . a lot of risky hookups in public places i dont think they really ever boned at the apartment LMAO). august is her BIGGEST rival (said lovingly). their relationship is very (robin voice) shut up august im gonna go fuck your wife now. and august bullies her so hard. relentlessly. also full disclosure they also fuck sometimes but its specifically (i warned everyone abt sexual themes or whatever so i can say this) really rough nasty stuff bc august doesnt mind getting rougher w her and robin lives for it. lmao. very hatesex type shit where they're constantly butting heads while robin is tied to the bed. we have fun here

🎓 - How long have you had the OC?

i posted robin for the first time on sept 7 2020!! which is the same day as justice's bday which is fun. so! she'll be 4 this year :^] wild as shit tbh it still feels like she's a new oc to me.

fig also looks like they have a 2020 bday, just earlier in the year! wild!

🍥 - What age were you when you created the OC?

me sitting here like. okay how much pain am i gonna be in acknowledging how old i was in 2020. okay lets see. ok. robin was a week before my birthday which means i was. oh my god. i was 24. i wasnt even 25 yet. oh my god. ohghh my god. time comes for us all. i made robin older than me when i made her im gonna throw up. im gonna become an oyster. im gona

I have a few misc WIPs I'm working on :)

icy nights, icy lights - Nyx/Kaidan, Noveria

Kaidan traced the lines of black ink on Nyx's arms, wondering what inspired the art. Wispy lines reminiscent of magic–or biotics even–were painted on the muscled arms, weaving together with the long since faded scars of war that also made their home on his skin.  Perhaps they were a sign of his biotics, a way of showing them off without being able to do it himself.  What would they feel like, alongside his, joining as one, combining mnemonics and dark energy to control the battlefield?  Or will he ever know them beyond secret moments of pleasure, flashes of blue held back by years of control and a custom amp and implant designed to keep him safe? Kaidan hated that he didn't know the answer.  A dark part of him, the jealous part that came about after learning about Nyx's history with Hackett couldn't help but fill his veins with cold ice. Hackett may not be a biotic, but he was probably more acquainted with Nyx's biotics than Kaidan will ever be. 

2. face your own enemy - Regis/Kaidan/Zaeed, continuation of my Citadel DLC write-up

Regis wasn’t impressed. “I don’t give a fuck who you claim to be. I’m Admiral goddamn Shepard, not you. You can be your own person!” He sneered, an ugly look that marred his face, twisting his features. “You’re the prize I want. It’s time I had my turn.” Kaidan stepped forward. “And you want to kill us so no one remembers Admiral Shepard.” “Ah, so you aren’t just a pretty-faced idiot,” he taunted. Zaeed stepped forward behind him, getting closer to Kaidan. The clone pointed at his husband. “And it looks like someone needs to put down your guard dog. I don’t like it when they bite. In any case, a personality change caused by the traumatic death of his little cult? Easily explained.” “It will never work,” Ashley said, raising her voice. “Too many people know Regis. You’re just setting yourself up for failure.” “Really? How unlikely it is that he’s surrounded by people he could have so easily killed. All three of you were so close to dying by fire and brimstone, and yet you continue to follow him.” His gaze landed on Ashley. “And you continue to fuck him.” He leered at his husbands. “He made such a terrible mistake in keeping all of you alive. Should’ve left you two to burn on Virmire. And let him burn in the flames of his own mistakes.”

3. LOTSB - Regis/Kaidan/Zaeed, my LOTSB write up.

“You… died in that armor,” Vasir stated, echoing his earlier words.  “How the hell did she get it?” “You tell me, Vasir,” Regis spat, dropping the remnants of his scarf on the ground.  “Take whatever you need, Wren, for your dossier.  I need some fucking air.” There wasn’t exactly a private place to go, so he walked over to the balcony next to the bullet holes.  Zaeed joined him, leaning against the barrier.   Regis moved closer, the shoulders of their armor touching.  “Zaeed, I am going to be the worst goddamn hypocrite right now.” He shrugged.  “Don’t feel like you have to apologize for goddamn Zorya again.  None of us expected to see that.  What a fucking–” he shook his head.  “Don’t even have the goddamn words to say how angry I am on your behalf.” “She has to have my dog tags.  My ring.  God, she tore that off of my corpse!  Cerberus didn’t have the full armor…” Regis swallowed down bile.  “I felt violated before, but this?” He let out a shuddering breath.  “This is unforgivable.”

4. wanna get caught? - Kaidan/Zaeed, PWP exhibitionism and sick!Regis who is tired of their mothering and wants them out of the house.

Zaeed pulled him into a familiar alleyway not far from their apartment, quiet, dark, free of foot traffic. “You goddamn tease,” he growled, pushing him up against the wall, dimly lit by the neon lights of the strip just outside the entryway. “Is this why you wanted me out of the damn house?” Kaidan only laughed, tangling a hand in his hair as he started kissing at his neck, leaving biting, stinging little marks. He got Zaeed exactly where he wanted him. Riled up, horny, and desperate. His favorite Zaeed. A little teasing sitting side by side in a booth was just enough. A hand on a thigh. Leaning on his shoulder and teasing him with a kiss that turns into a nibble. A trip to the bathroom to prep himself with a plug, knowing Zaeed recognized the slight change in his gait. Another reason why Kaidan enjoyed going on dates with only Zaeed. He indulged him and his kinks oh so well, both loving the thrill of being in public. Almost out of sight. Almost out of mind. One stray look is all it takes for them to be caught.

5. nothing will shine as bright - Kaidan/Zaeed, post ME2 prologue, Zaeed meets the Alenkos (i've been working on this for ages rip)

He found himself halfway over to the barn where he and Regis kept their motorcycles. He thought back to the damn helmets Zaeed had made for them, not even knowing about their hobby but wanting them to share in his. Yet another thing that had in common. Yet another thing that would’ve made their relationship great. Footsteps crunched the leaves behind him, and he whirled around to see Zaeed, hands stuffed in his jacket pockets. “Wasn’t about to leave you alone.” “Leaving me alone probably would’ve made them judge you even more,” he sighed, leaning against the wall of the barn. “I’m sorry.” “I wouldn’t make them the damn bad guys yet,” he said softly. “Just worried about their son who lost the love of his life and is shacking up with a guy damn near twice his age.” “Well, I’ll give them more to talk about.” Kaidan unlatched the door of the barn and headed inside. “Let’s go for a fucking ride.”

6. the SR-1 - Part of my Subject Zero!Kaidan series, primarily Regis/Zaeed.

It had been two fucking months.  Two months without hearing anything.  Sure, they’ve gone long stretches of time without talking to each other.  Normal in their line of work.  Not always able to send a quick message, especially with Regis’s N missions that typically required radio silence. But Kaidan’s mission was recon.  Typical UNC bullshit.  And a bit of a training venture for some new biotic recruits, as Kaidan had cemented himself into being an instructor like Regis if a need arose for it. It shouldn’t have been anything to worry about.   It never should have ended like it did. A whole squad, gone.  No sign of struggle.  No sign of battle.  As if they were never there. Nothing to give any sort of hope.   Two months since their last communication, well-wishes and ribbing about trainees and so much love.  And nothing after.   No investigation turned up anything useful.  Everyone lost hope day by day.  But Regis never did.  Zaeed never did, vowing to use what he could to look into it himself.   The Normandy was his only chance.

7. a beginning - Nyx/Kaidan, the aftermath of their one-night stand that turned into more.

Kaidan wasn’t quite sure what to think about the man lying in the bed a couple of feet away from the bathroom, watching him with those deep purple eyes that said a lot about him.  Gene modded, clearly, with a deep hue that contrasted his rough exterior.  He had to have been at least in his fifties, if not more, the skin marked by both war and natural aging. But one thing’s for sure, Nyx knew how to charm a man, even one that wasn’t normally for one night stands. “Doing okay in there?” he asked, making no move to cover himself up, turning towards him with a grin. “Just thinking,” Kaidan replied, dampening a washcloth with warm water, testing it with his hand before wringing it out.  “Dangerous,” he teased, running his hand down his chest, toying with those pierced nipples–and what a fucking surprise that was.  “Penny for your thoughts?” He was thinking about a lot, actually.  About how he thought he saw a flash of light blue rimmed around his eyes while he fucked deep into Nyx, pressing his weight into him, keeping a steady gaze on him, watching for any reaction that wasn't complete pleasure.  Biotics from a man far too old to be part of the first gen, much less any other stable gen.  Far too pure to be a trick of the light.  But maybe it was.

Okay so some specific questions abt wren

you once mentioned that wren's lip color was poison with wax to protect his own skin. how does that work??? wouldn't it affect him when he eats/drinks/etc?

what does he do to his hair to make it look like that?

how did he get a hold of keening and put that in his prosthetic leg? how has he achieved this (presumably) without Wraithguard? how did he lose the leg in the first place? does the Dwemer danger prosthetic work the same as a regular prosthetic (just. more dangerous) or what? i'm very interested in his false leg.

you've talked about his scars if i recall correctly, but does he have any tattoos? peircings?

where does he get his clothes? they look altered from the regular Morrowind robes, or maybe a really loose translation of one of them shirts (what a low poly source does to a mf) so whats the story behind that design?

how does he fake his death? you've probably answered that before but idk i haven't seen it so I'm asking now. what does he do in the ~200 years where he is entirely unaccounted for because of his fake death, before the events of Skyrim?

has miraak stopped bullying teldryn yet.

and also what is YOUR favorite little thing about him that maybe no one has noticed yet?

sorry for a flood of questions. your Nerevarine is interesting and i like him a lot.

This is a long one so I'll number everything.

Lipstick--He wears a layer of wax under his lipstick to protect himself and doesn't really eat or drink with it on unless necessary, but he also keeps the actual poison away from where his lips meet and microdosed the ingredients for a few years to get used to it lest he ingest some. A little paralyzed or sick is better than immediate organ failure, yknow? In most events his targets will be compromised even if he suffers side effects because he opened their throats or they have the aforementioned organ failure. So basically don't kiss him if he has that lipstick on...

Hair-- His hair is naturally very straight and silky, he's just really lucky with cutting his own hair. The texture and color changed a ton by 4e because he faked his death to get away from the empire blackmailing more work out of him and some experimental spells had a weird side effect and cutting it short made it that kind of springy you get with that. Give it another 50 years or so and it should be back to normal! The reddish tint is natural, gets a bit more prominent in the summer.

Keeningcap-- Oh I could talk about his leg for days! He amputated it himself (the doodle of him doing that is accurate), because he had chronic pain it in post-corprus and after the above mentioned spell side effects it was starting to deteriorate even more. He would rather deal with what he considers an inconvenience of losing a leg and having to adjust to a prosthetic to dealing with the increasingly unbearable pain (also a bit of a personal projection wrt bad legs). Someone tried to kill him and he killed them in return one-handed while healing his own slashed throat before, so he has effective intense self-restoration down to a T and knew that would (probably) work again. Technically in game he can wield Keening without dying for a WHILE because he has like 10k health (for some reason), so it would hurt but not kill him as long as he put it back away quickly. He uses this as an intimidation tactic. He ended up losing the whole set while faking his death but got them back during the events of Skyrim since there's that quest to get em. There's also a good chance the Skyrim Keening is counterfeit since it won't actually borderline-instakill you, though, or perhaps it's heavily damaged? So that nullifies any potential danger once it's integrated in his leg. Accidental contact with his leg stump doesn't happen because the amputation happened upper thigh and keening is store and spring loaded to pop out with twisting his leg 3 times in his front lower leg. Aside from weaponization, the leg works as a robotic prosthetic would IRL, just with more magical bullshit as opposed to electricity and wires to the brain. It is kind of heavy, though, so he opts for conjuring a leg back if he's not expecting combat.

Scars/Tats/Piercings-- By the 4th era he has pierced ears, but finds tattoos a bad idea to have if you're reliant on not being identified, let alone if one of your methods for doing your job involves getting naked and someone else might see.

Clothes-- The blue robe is a major redux of the extravagant robe (specifically he wears poisonmirror, not even for the statboost anymore it's just been with him all this time), but lorewise for him it's a family heirloom alongside his spear and dagger and he blackmailed someone in prison to get them on the ship to Morrowind. The boots, gloves, and armor underneath are mostly improvised to fill in his design since I didn't want him to be too complex to draw. I didn't put much thought in, I made him in mw then eventually Skyrim and went "okay let's draw you" and he happened the way he did

Faked Death-- He knew the Empire was using him for their own gains during the crises in Morrowind, on top of hating them already beforehand, and that they'd get him to do more work for them if he stuck around or risk being put back in prison. So, after the Oblivion crisis, he faked a skooma addiction, found a dunmer bandit that was about his size who had ties to the skooma trade, burned the cavern dwelling with them in it, and left most of his stuff behind with them to make it look like he got in with a bad crowd and got burned (heh) for it. Despite the irony of the story being a dunmer who burned to death, he did that then he used some experimental alteration spells to alter his hair and eye color but the texture and slight saturation stayed in his hair and his eyes went back to normal after about 2 months. For the rest of the 3rd era he mostly wandered around Tamriel and did freelance contracts, spending a lot of time in Elsweyr and eventually returned to Cyrodiil during the Oblivion crisis. He met Shimmers-In-Shallows (my HoK) and helped her out for a while and moved on (and faked his death). When the Red Year happened, he was so grief-stricken he couldn't prevent that he had a breakdown and shut down emotionally for a few years. Guilt isn't a particular feeling he likes expressing, because it's weakness. If you asked him what he did during that, he couldn't tell you for most of it. He did to back to Morrowind and help out both on the mainland and off (and hooked up with Teldryn at some point while he was there, though if either of them remember is debatable). Eventually, he made his way into Skyrim and met Dusk, who through which he also (re)met Teldryn and then Miraak. He's had a more decent and continuous support system, since and less likely to blow himself up trying some stupid shit

Miraak Stop Sending Teldryn Flying-- Character story wise, yeah they get along somewhat. In game, no :(

Fave thing-- I don't really know, his persistence maybe? He just keeps on truckin. That, or his lack of fear makes him fun to write/draw.

[cagedcats]

Back at it with Starkit’s Prophecy Redux- this time with Starkit II and her… sister(?) at least half-sister Rainstar.

Of course in Redux verse they’d just be full blooded sisters instead, of course they’re the daughters of the redux version of Tigerstar and Hollyleaf, when I eventually get to them of course.

Now Rainstar-

She quite literally just appears in Starkit’s Prophecy fashion. She’s mentioned once, introduced immediately later, does two or three things and is immediately redeemed at the end. Though this redemption is done because “the evil leaders were dead and she had no one to follow so she’s good now.” Which her name in the fic was Rainheart, once the parents and nephew/mate dies.

Now first up, Rainstar is described as a brown cat, which Rain- isn’t meant for a brown cat. And since most every cat is called just a solid color cat, I decided to play with her design a bit so she could be called Wren- which sounds similar to Rain.

Now as for suffix, in Starkit’s Prophecy skill as along with every other character, she has none. She isn’t seen nearly enough to go “yes that’s their name!” So we’ll just have to make due with what we got.

We see she does have convictions in her beliefs, as she for some reason has to tell people she’s straight when it wasn’t even mentioned. So she’s a Starkit the First junior in that department I guess. And when Starkit II decided to join the evil cats, she is the first to question this- though she doesn’t really hold onto this for long and just drops the matter entirely.

However by the ending when she drops everything to become “good” is when -heart is thrown out completely. She doesn’t have enough convictions in her beliefs to cling onto them without her parents I guess. Which is baffling since she was high ranking enough to give them orders and advice them.

So by the end we can give her a -fur or -pelt suffix. But the downside is that basically everyone in this fic should be -fur or -pelt besides Starkit herself. Though some are -cloud or -storm.

So if we give her a special suffix we can wipe out -claw since she’s never actually seen fighting, but commanding. No -dusk since he loyalty was gone in an instant, but maybe -shade. That is only because of how suddenly she appeared (though this should apply to everyone then), and how immediately important she was described to be. A secret daughter? Well she sure did hide herself well.

And maybe in my heart she didn’t actually switch sides because she was good now. After all she’s never mentioned again after that. Maybe it was a ploy to get her revenge.

So after all this we can say either Wrenpelt or Wrenshade for Rainstar.

Now Starkit II

Why the villains named their daughter after the same cat stopping them at every turn I don’t know. But we got Starkit II due to reincarnation. Cause StarClan just loves Starkit and she’s too important.

Now Star- is of course not allowed in Redux or Warriors (which I hope is to be continued I swear to god Hunters)- so just like before the prefix is knocked out. Now due to the recommendation of Lynx from Iterum I became fond of Dove- which fits a lilac cat. Plus it makes her and Wrenpelt/shade a theme. Bird sisters. The only change I really made was to give her some stripes. Pale stripes at least, but since her dad is a tabby I felt as though she’d also be a tabby. It was either Dove- or Aster-

Though Aster- may be given to Starkit III (yes there is a third Starkit).

Now like Starkit the First, Starkit II starts out with a strong conviction with her beliefs, to the point she’s kicking out anyone who doesn’t agree with her. Even her own mentor. Also she fought her parents and helped chase them out. Which could’ve made her a -heart, which Starkit II is also a prodigy at fighting, but it isn’t brought up 24/7 like the First. So I’m not going to do -claw for her like the First.

However with the changing views of the Author, Starkit II also does a 180 degree turn on her beliefs. Which is probably one of the more notable things about her. Since she also switches sides… twice I believe. For her kits mind you, but still switching sides. Hell she even views StarClan as the enemy for a split second.

Which this flip flopping between emotions and beliefs give me a sort of -storm vibe. She settles out eventually (and dies), similar to a -storm cat as well. She doesn’t get -flower because she does end up killing her son, Tigerkit. Which while he was considered evil, I feel like most -flowers wouldn’t Y’know kill their son personally.

So Starkit II becomes Dovestorm

Now next time I touch at Starkit’s Prophecy redux? Not sure. I’ve actually somewhat got a plot going on in my head for how it could’ve been taken in Redux Iterum. But not sure if I’ll ever write to.

But it’s been fun to play with the idea of it at least in my head

So Dovestorm for Starkit II

[rielzero]

Wrapped up finishing Umbra’s refsheet(s) (FOR NOW) and realized I made his head smaller.

Man- my consistency sometimes? is non existent. The Seedling’s refsheet has the same issue. Something was bothering me about the design and its literally the headsize on the fullbody lol. I ain’t going back fixing that, ITS TOO MUCH EFFORT FOR HOW MUCH TIME THE SHEET TOOK GEEZ.

Anyway there are several TBA designs I have planned to expand the Eldritch Forms.

I’m making a new concept into the lore which eldritch cultists refer to as ‘’Mirror entities’’ which are alternative forms to Specific Eldritch forms.

The Seedling’s Mirror entity is Bloodbringer! They share the similar design with some visual differences and powerset. The alt form of The Seedling is the aquatic one, so not a mirror entity.

A completely new form is considered an ‘’Eldritch Child’’ on itself, all though the same goes for Mirror Entities. Just a sidenote: They all are essentially the same person, this classification has more to do with how it is perceived by cultists who view these forms as separate gods.

Mirror Entities I plan to make: ‘’Hellraiser Wren’’ ‘’Negative Wren’’ Alternative Forms I plan to make: ‘’Mothman Snowmoth’’ ‘’Frenzied Bloodbringer’’ Completely new forms currently in concept doodle/notebook stage: Death Marrow / Bonemarrow Seraph, Paragon of Insanity

How does Umbra work? Envious Umbra / Sombra the Still are both considered Mirror Entities despite their smaller differences, while Miserable Umbra is the primary eldritch child. (It’s also the most common sighted form.) Their power doesn’t change, just their demeanor / mood slightly alters.

The Seedling (Main form) > Aquatic Seedling (alt form) The Bloodbringer (Mirror Entity) > Frenzied Bloodbringer (alt form)

I do need to remake Bloodbringer’s refsheet before I start working on Frenzied bloodbringer. Basicially he starts boiling and becomes.. Eruptive. Volcanic. Explosive. Big angry sharp boii.

Other Concepts that have been in my head that I won’t go in detail on: -Something that gives me nuclear or decay theme feelings. -’’proxy’’

If we’re counting all the Eldritch children that are finished + in the works we have.. (not counting sal’varis, entropy, or Rielzero)

6. Umbra, Wren, Mothman, Seedling, Marrow, Seraph. If we add the mirror entities, it becomes 9. If we also count Umbra v1 and Sombra, its 11.

That’s a lot of eldritch beings worshipped seperatedly by cultists.

ANYWAY I’M DONE RAMBLING BYEEE-

Lore as always, is subject to change until I actually publish it in some official form. Older refsheets may contain lore that is outdated or retconned.

now I’m really done byeeeeee

[roetrolls]

This might be a weird question, but is there a reason you made Ben and Harlan both have hair that crosses over their nose?

Omg that’s not weird at all!! The answer is yes and no. Yes, they both have a reason, but it’s not the same reason. The fact that it wound up being a shared design element was complete coincidence

Ben’s little x bangs were a very deliberate choice when I was redesigning him in 2020.

This was how he looked when I made him at age… what, 15? 15 or 16.

When I was redesigning him (^ the sketch you see right there) I wanted to keep some key design elements while changing them to something that felt more interesting and true to the character. In the case of his bangs, I decided I wanted his eyes to be visible, but his hair needed to convey the same thing— this idea that Ben didn’t care enough to actually manage his hair, he just let it do what it wanted and called it a day.

I also felt that it served as a sort of visual indicator that this is a character who is closed off and doesn’t like being vulnerable. The same effect as drawing someone with their arms crossed, only… it’s their hair.

Harlan, on the other hand, has a much sillier answer.

The first time I drew him was this image

Which I created immediately after returning from an impromptu hiatus where I had been pouring all my focus into my passion project, Willow Wren, the main characters of which look like this.

You will notice something about the way both of these kids part their hair.

Harlan’s hair, and I’m not kidding when I say this, literally looks like that because of muscle memory. I had been drawing Keith and Willow so much that when I needed to design a new guy I just inadvertently did the same thing I’d been doing for weeks at that point.

[friend-of-giants]

First Seed - Does your OC have any enemies or rivals? How did these rivalries start? Hearthfire - Does your OC have a family (blood or found)? Who are they closest to? Morning Star - What was the first thing you gave your OC? Name, backstory, design, etc. for Wren my most beloved 👹

Oh, Kel, asking the tough questions to make me divulge all of Wren's dark little secrets 😂 I'm not a coward though and will answer as best I can without blatantly spoiling certain aspects of my fic. Good questions, though, I like these. Thank you!!! ❤

First Seed - Does your OC have any enemies or rivals? How did these rivalries start? - How I wish I could get detailed in my answer on this, but alas it would spoil a major part of my fic that I prefer to keep secret.  What I can say is the Thalmor are perhaps Wren's biggest and most loathed enemy.  After infiltrating the embassy, Elenwen was impressed and drawn to Wren's abilities as Dragonborn, and made the offer to take her on and weaponize her, so to speak.  Wren refused, and the Thalmor retaliated and did some horrible things to her.  That's all I can tell you.

Hearthfire - Does your OC have a family (blood or found)? Who are they closest to? - She has parents and a brother whom she hasn't seen in about 60 years, as well as some family who are deceased (here I go being vague again and avoiding spoilers tee hee).  The only true family she has remaining is the one she found with Teldryn, Inigo, and Lydia (even though Lydia lives in a different city).  

Morning Star - What was the first thing you gave your OC? Name, backstory, design, etc. - I think I came up with the basic idea first, I wanted to create an elven warrior Dragonborn and write about her life.  Over time, I settled on a name (actually went through a few before deciding on Wren, one of which was Gabby but then I remembered Gabriella from the Dark Brotherhood exists, lol), then her appearance (which has also changed based on my very old drawings of her), and finally her story, which I have solidified for the most part and am actively writing.

2023 Art Recap

Every year I like to look over an art piece from each month and go over what I like and don't like about it as well as how my art has changed over the year. Also I consistently posted my art on tumblr for a whole year which has never happened before I think

It's weird seeing SVO stuff after making the decision to reboot it like a month later. I don't know what is going on here perspective and anatomy wise this piece is just bad.

February

The only piece of Tome art I drew this year, SVR has kept me busy. After doing so much character design this year I look back on some of these designs and think about ways I could make them better but that will have to wait. I don't have to much to say considering this is just a sketch page.

March

I still really like this, It's not my favorite but I like the motion. I think the design and anatomy could be better but I'm just glad I made something considering my biggest issue this year was just not making things.

April

Nothing! Actually it's all just beta designs for SVR most of which are outdated at this point and contain spoilers so I don't want to post them, sorry.

May

Mermay art, Idk what to say, its fine. The shadows on the skin look more like light which doesn't look awful but It's a pretty obvious mistake

June

I'm a big fan of bright cool colors if you couldn't tell. I wonder if next year I'll play with Aria's design more, I feel like I nailed her design pretty early. I hope to have the comic up next year though so I might not.

July

I had not original art here's a study that I did. It doesn't look much like the original and kinda sucks but the point of a study is to get better so it's fine I guess.

August

Where's that Gordan Ramsey "wheres the light source" image I think it really applies to this image. Idk why I decided to draw an image with so many light sources when I already struggle with that.

September

I joked about how the shading on this sucks but honestly I kinda like how it turned out. I have no idea how I ended up doing this and have been trying to figure out how to redo and have failed every time.

October

Backwards hands. Well not really but they're in a really uncomfortable position. I had a lot of fun with this piece but I think that's just because It's Saph and I love her.

November

PFP redraw, I don't actually draw wren that much which is why their design hasn't changed in years. This piece also has the shadows being way to bright because I really wanted to use purple. My brand I guess.

December

This piece destroyed me, I started it during finals as a way to de-stress but it escalated. I do love it though (probably because I spent 12 hours on it) I said last year that 2023 was going to be the year I worked on backgrounds and I just decided to cram all of that into this one piece.

Goals for next year are to start publishing SVR (I'd like to finish act I but knowing me that isn't going to happen)

Alpha's Temptation - Chapter 35 - Part 1

*Warning Adult Content*

Instead of Wren being the one avoiding me, I'm now the one avoiding him.

Lylah can't even hang out with me at school anymore because she feels bad leaving Wren alone.

I'm with Jay most of the time, which earns me dirty looks from Wren on the occasion that I do see him.

It's a whole mess, really.

I've tried to stop being guilty about it.

There's nothing I can do. I don't want to talk to Wren.

I don't want a confrontation.

I don't want anything to do with it.

Usually, I wouldn't be so worried about all this if Daemon was around but he's been gone for two days already.

We call and message every day but of course, nothing can replace actually being in his presence.

He sometimes gets me to send pictures of myself and compliments my outfits, even though I'm hiding my face in every photo and take an hour to get one I'm okay with sending.

I've been hoping I'll get one back but all I ended up getting was one disgruntled, looking selfie where he looks like he just woke up.

But it made me smile anyway.

While on a call with him later in the day, something pops into my head.

"Oh, I never got the chance to ask you... um what happened with that guy who died? Zeke?"

"Hmm?" Daemon sighs. "Like I said. We thought he was going to make it. He had traces of heroin in his bloodstream, the amount was concerning but the doctors said it'd be okay. Then a day later when they checked again, he seemed to have more in him and it was impure, laced with metals. You know how deadly some metals are to wolves."

"Hmm," I acknowledge.

We learned about that stuff in school.

"Tristan thinks it has something to do with my brother because he used to be an addict..."

"He was?"

I mean, I did have my suspicions.

"Yeah. I even saved him from an overdose once, that ungrateful little shit."

"Really?" I exclaim. "That must have been so... so scary."

"It was. And he's sober now but if he's still got access to the shit... uh... he might be connected to all of this."

"You've got to tell Lucien..."

"Trust me. We have. And he investigated too but there's no evidence correlating with my brother. So he just has to take Theo's word."

"But you don't buy it?" I ask.

"I don't know what I buy," Daemon sounds conflicted. "We have a big pack. There are plenty of others out there that could be the culprit. Tristan just hates Theo. I don't blame him for being suspect, though. That's why we're looking into it."

"I see..."

"Drugs can spread like wildfire through a pack. It's dangerous. Leaves us vulnerable to attack. The thing is, Lucien already has so much on his hands and I'm helping too but it doesn't change the fact that he has no Luna to support him."

I feel for Lucien. I really do.

He's responsible for so much, the weight of it all on his shoulders, yet he keeps himself together.

Even without his mate. I just want to give him a big hug.

Today is the day Daemon comes back, so I'm pretty excited to say the least.

We're also starting a play in theater which has been super fun so far.

I'm just going to be doing work backstage because I have severe stage fright but it's still fun to see the people rehearsing their scenes as I design the props.

I'm finishing my homework up on the couch as I think about school stuff when I hear the door open.

I look to see if it's Lucien but to my surprise it's Theo.

His eyes dart around strangely, immediately spotting me.

"Ash," he says.

"Hello?"

I give him a look of confusion.

I don't really understand what business we'd ever have together.

Theo looks about the room, turning his head left and right.

"Daemon isn't here, is he?"

I'm getting really off vibes from him.

"No..?" I reply, my voice going up in question.

"Good."

I don't have time to ask what he means before he's coming toward me, moving quickly.

"H-hey."

I jump up from the sofa, backing up as he reaches for me.

"What are you doing?"

Fear starts rising in me, adrenaline rushing through my veins.

What is he trying to do?

Theo doesn't reply, just advances on me.

So I skitter around the sofa, nearly tripping over a small table at the end of it.

"Stop," I demand but he's nearly right behind me so I attempt a dash to the front door, barely making it two feet before he grabs me by the arm, forcefully yanking me back.

I yelp in pain as he slams me against the wall, holding me in place with his sheer strength.

"Let go," I yell. "Let go of me."

It's impossible for me to move, smashed against the white plaster on my stomach.

Theo ignores my request.

"I've been waiting for a chance to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me," he says, breathing heavily in anticipation.

His hand grips the bottom of my shirt and I realize what he's trying to do.

He wants to take it off.

"No," I scream. "STOP. STOP."

He rips off my shirt, tearing the fabric in the process so it falls to the ground in a useless muddle.

He starts to laugh maniacally.

"I was right. A fucking Dark Moon pack mark."

No sooner than a few seconds later is the front door slammed open, a furious-looking Daemon charging into the house.

"What the fuck is going on here?" he growls when his eyes find Theo pinning me to the wall.

I feel Theo's hand on my back, pointing to my mark.

"This."

My face is smashed up against the wall but I'm able to spare a look at Daemon.

For a brief moment, he looks shocked as he takes in the sight of my bare skin.

Dread floods me because I know that means he's seen them.

Not the mark but the deep, gruesome scars that litter my upper back, my stepfather's favorite place to mutilate me.

"Right under our noses," Theo sneers but at the moment I don't care that I've been discovered.

I care because Daemon saw.

That's all I can think.

Daemon has seen all of me, how disgusting I am.

My stomach drops in terror.

There's no way for me to reverse this.

I burst out crying, thrashing helplessly under Theo's strong hold to try and get him off.

At that, Daemon's face darkens, snapping back to full-blown anger.

Before I can register anything, he's lunging at Theo, violently pulling him off me.

He slams him back into the opposite wall, so hard that it cracks and caves in.

"Don't touch him..." he roars, eyes glowing bright with rage.

He punches Theo hard in the face.

Blood immediately blooms on the blond's cheek and he winces but reopens his eyes to glare at his brother.

"By your reaction, I'm guessing you knew," Theo snarls.

Daemon's nostrils flare.

"Shut your fucking mouth."

"You knew, you traitor. I should've known a dirty rogue like you was in on this."

Theo pushes him back, raising his fists.

Daemon blocks his first few hits, getting a few in himself but misses blocking Theo's last one, also getting a blow to the face.

That fuels his anger and he grunts, punching his brother in the gut.

I watch in horror as they fight, sinking to the floor  by the stairwell.

I'm scared. I'm scared of how they're hurting each other, knocking things over.

"Stop," I scream. "Stop it."

But my plea falls on deaf ears.

"Did he seduce you? Is that why you're trying to protect him?"

Theo takes another punch to the stomach before kneeing Daemon hard in the leg.

"You try anything and I will..."

"Why? You really care that much about a runt?" Theo spits, shoving Daemon back.

The bigger Alpha growls in rage, grabbing Theo by the neck and slamming him against the dining table, shattering the wood.

"You're dead."

"What's it to you?" Theo continues, despite sputtering for air after getting the wind knocked out of him. "That's what he is. A runt. Good for getting fucked and not much else..."

I swear I hear the bone crack before I see it.

Dr. Holmes: Craig.

Craig: Yes, Mother?

Dr. Holmes: Why is my face cut out of this photo?

Craig: ...Uh...

[zeethenecromancer]

Okay hi so I’m not quite dead

I barely post but I tend to lurk around here a whole lot, and last night I decided to read WAYYY too much into CQ show lore and made up some theories??? Kind of a wall so it’s under the read below

So, to start off. Let’s look at the pitch for CQ that’s apparently floating around online, as some of my theories derive from it

(Yes, it’s really hard to read but bear with me it exists on only one site) Aside from the really obvious design changes and arc changes, I want to highlight the mentioned “swamp witch” in the scrapped “a boy and is dog” I think that this could’ve been Dorsilla or her and her family, altered for the show. It’s mentioned in CQ2 that there’s a family of witches in the swamp guarding from grubbins from repugnia invading, here we see a young dorsilla. 

As we know, Dorsilla switches sides in the first game to the side of the repugnians Given her dialogue in the first game it also doesn’t seem all too unlikely that she would know and actively try to harm a line of “traitors” (I.e norm’s family) Okay first one done, now onto one that has more evidence because it doesn’t come solely from a pitch. Also, if you haven’t watched the final episode yet. SKIP THIS ONE! In S1 part 2, and for a shot during ghosting in S1 part 1. We see Bob Dickerson’s grubbin form, also in S1 Part 2. We see him consume a small amount of nougat and from what we can glean from this scene is that his monster form skin is a dark green

BUT the “monster form” we see has reddish orange skin (at least partially) and still differs in hue to the peak we see in the previous episode (O Grubbin, Where Art Thou?)

So I theorize that perhaps grubbins have a 2nd more powerful eldritch-like form, maybe it’s exclusive to higher ranking grubbins (Judging by how the pitch seems to imply Bob as the general) or for all monsters. This leads into how I think there’s definitely some higher ranking grubbins in repugnia we could’ve seen that were even more dangerous than Bob This is further evidenced by the monster in Breaker Breaker becoming more...well monstrous after licking the nougat And finally, a pretty small one. I think that the costumes or at least a prolonged use of them expands the wearer’s lifespan/strength to some degree, this is based on purely the timeline and one off dialogue in Monsters In Our Midst about Oona. To start off, it’s implied that Oona is over 100 years old in Monsters In Our Midst, it’s entirely possible that this was exaggeration because it was on a tour bus. But this becomes less likely when you see Norm’s flashbacks, given that Oona is meant to be the predecessor to Wren. It’s safe to assume that she was Wren’s age at the time of the first all out battle with the costume warriors, this puts her around 111-113 years old. Now someone CAN get that old, but Oona’s able to survive a dry cleaner collapsing, jumping off of platforms and various other things a 110 something year old lady would probably keel over from. So maybe the magical costumes kinda...pass on their magic and stuff? If that makes any sense And that...concludes some rambling okay bye

*Slings arm around shoulder* Psst share to the class your wing design ideas for the wing fic au ;)c

Aww, thanks, Jnixz <3 You're really a gem.

SO!! The main idea behind my wing au is that only psychics have wings. This makes it a lot harder for folks to hide when they're psychic, though a lot of folks still try. Let's get into the details, now.

Main Characters (PN1)

Kiddos

Raz: Albatross wings. Albatross are associated with the ocean and a burden/curse, so of course, it's the Aquatos. They're pretty simple wings, but I think that the meaning fits 'em.

Lili: Currently unsure, but I'm thinking it's some kind of moth.

Dogen: Robin or bluebird. I know it has to be kind of small and bright, to match the kindness he has. It could be a ladybug, like Compton has, though.

Bobby: Likely broken wings, but I'd say he's a falcon. Bird of prey, able to feed on the weaker ones.

Adults

Sasha: Pigeon. Specifically, a racing pigeon. Though I could see an owl, I have a specific reason...

Milla: Dove. Since pigeons and doves are the same family of birds, of course I'm sitting here with my dumb ship and like. :3 Also doves meaning peace fits her well.

Morry: Still don't really know for him, but I'm thinking eagle.

(Fred, Gloria, Boyd, and Edgar don't have wings, but if they did, they'd have wren, peafowl, magpie, and raven wings. These are definitely up to change.)

Loboto: His wings were removed with the lobotomy, but they were falcon wings (Because yes, I'm feeding into the Loboto-is-Bobby's-dad headcanon. Honestly, I could see him having crow wings.)

Main Characters (PN2)

Kiddos:

Frazie: Albatross, like her brother and father.

Norma: I'd say phoenix but that would be too on-the-nose. Could be an owl of some kind, though-- Maybe a barn owl?

Lizzie: Same as Norma (Or a snowy owl)

Sam: Same as her brother, so... Ladybug, robin, or bluebird.

Adam: Collared Dove or Fantail Pigeon

Gisu: Idk but you bet it's awesome. Temminck Tragopan looks like a good choice? It's just neat to look at tbh

Morris: Hummingbird. He hates how small they are but he's already one of the coolest interns.

Adults:

Augustus: Albatross (No, really, I'm not letting go of Aquato Albatross supremacy)

Bob: Moth (Specifically the moth from Bob's Bottles-- This was the one that inspired that whole au.)

Helmut: Butterfly. Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, perhaps? But it's one of those extremely beautiful ones with lots of color to it. He doesn't even try to hide his wings.

Compton: Ladybug :) Though I could see a robin or bluebird like with Dogen.

Cassie: Do I even need to say it? We all know she has bee wings.

Lucy: Dragonfly

Ford: A beetle of some sort-- maybe a jewel scarab?

Otto: His are complicated. He was born with owl butterfly wings, but an incident left them mostly wrecked. Instead of letting that get him down, he rebuilt his wings out of mechanical parts, and uses that to make up for it. He does get compared to Icarus a lot. He doesn't much like it, mostly because it's Daedalus who made those wings.

Hollis: Could be a goose, could be a duck, but the thing is that she views these interns as children in need of guidance.

(Gristol does not have wings. He ain't psychic. He doesn't deserve wings /lh)

Maligula might have different wings than Lucy? I'm not entirely sure, though...
